An overview of Hong Kong Island in November 1924. Directly below is what is now the Wah Fu estates area. In the far distance Kai Tak is still being reclaimed. The RAF aircraft involved in taking this image arrived and departed by one of the first Aircraft Carriers, HMS Pegasus. Not a conventional flat-deck carrier, but one where aircraft with floats were off loaded by a crane into the water. IDJ
